JAMB NO LONGER MANDATORY FOR ADMISSION – FG GIVES INSTITUTIONS POWER TO DECIDE USING SSCE RESULTS

 

The Federal Ministry of Education has announced that the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will no longer serve as the primary requirement for gaining admission into Nigerian tertiary institutions.

According to the new directive, universities, polytechnics, and colleges of education will now have the autonomy to determine which candidates to admit based on their Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE) results or its equivalent.

The Ministry stated that the policy aims to give institutions more flexibility in their admission processes and ensure that deserving candidates are not denied access to higher education.
